WHY WE HAVE GOOD TEETH.

WHY WE HAVE GOOD TEETH.
Il believe that Springfield is the poorest
candy town in the state" remarked a dis
gusted dealer in fine candies the other day.
Il used to have candy store in town of
5. 600 inhabitants and sold as much candy
there as do here in Springfield. a city Of
S5. 900. Springfield society people don't buy
candy as they ought to. 1 have great deal
of the aristocratic trade. but if ii wasn't for
the trade from the working classes my
sales would make poor figure However.
the candy trade Is growing continually bet
ter in Springfield, ard 1t is possible that
we shall soon have the public educated up
to the pOint of eating proper amount of
candy"
1t Is amazing how well the Crocker
trained horse show drew the people to
Blacks opera house last week. There was
not single small audience the whole week.
The greatest amaZement was expressed by
the public at the wonderful training evinced
by the horses. The training of the lower
animals is a great and interesting science.
which is yet in its infancy. There is little
doubt that if persistent and constant efforts
were applied to the training of srch intelli
gent creatures as horses and dogs their
usefulness could be increased to wcnder-
full extent The New York Sun recently
devoted over a column of Its precious ed
itorial space TO the discussion of
MONKEY HEMP PICKERs.
The story goes that gentleman who
lives in Kentucky. and who is an extensive
cultivator of hemp. received a letter from
his brother who lives in Africa. asking him
II he did not want several large monkeys
as present why. yes. he wrote back.
''send the monkeys along"
In course of time they arrived. and very
handsome, dudish mOnkies they were.
Their arrival created sensation in the
neighborhoOd, and people came to see them
from far and wide. the Sew York Suns
story then states that they were taken ont
in the hemp fields on a short excursion one
day: while there they were much interested
in watching the breaking of the hemp. and
their initiative powers were wrought up 10
the highest pitch. 1t was only few min
uteS before all the monkeys were in the
field breaking the hemp As merrily as you
please. Their owner thought il was fine
joke to watch the monkeys. but finally a
light dawned on him, and he kept the mon
keys steadily at work, and with a
little training got them to pick
and break the hemp almost as well as hu-
man hands could have done it, Th. Suu

keys have been trained to work and wants

The writers OF budgets OF special CORE
spondence from metropolitan cities to pa
pers in other parts of the country. in their
efforts to make their letters .'spicy" and
''racy" and ''newsy," as general thing
mutilate the truth in way that is quite
shocking. These bright Bohemans take
the most ordinary carbon dust and little
judicious mendacity soon makes glitter
ing sensational diamond out of it,
For an example, take the following item.
telling of the loan of the collection of ori-
entail art works by Mr.. John W. Bookwal-
ter to the Cincinnati art museum.
IAN ART MUSEUM.
Sir A. T. Goshorn-he is a real live
'sir'-and his fellow aesthetics concerned
in building up the art museum. have made
new strike by getting hold of the magnifi-
cent oriental collection at Springfield. owned
by John W. Bookwalter. after spending
about a year in dickering for it. The price
is not given. but il was certainly to ba
handsome one, although Mr. Bookwalter
was neighborly enough 20 give very good
bargain. The art museum is getting to be
a very creditabe affair in some ways. even
if it does run largely TO USel-ssness in
many lines, being more pretty than prac-
teal"
The above appeared in the Cincinnati
letter of the Cleveland Plain Dealer the
other day. Nothing could be more untruth-
g. 81. g..
that Mr.. Bookwalter has sold his splendid
collection to the Cincinnati museum for a
few Thousand dollars. Now. nothing can
be further from the truth. Ii is doubtful if
the Cincinnati museum could raise enough
money to buy it from Mr. Bookwalter.
The collection will be boxed up and sent
to Cincinnati Immediately. where it will be
arranged in the most careful and correct
order. II will be grouped all together as the
''BooKwALTER COLLECTION
| And the catalogue descr ibing it will be dis
tinct from the regular museum catalogue.
| Ii is understood that Mr.. Bookwalter has
consented TO let it remain in Cincinnati for
a number of months. or even year. until
the Cincinnati public have had ample op-
portunity to absorb its beauties.
Mr. Bookwalter said the other day, re-
!
"Why, yes: the collection will receive
| the best of care. No one in the country
understands the arrangement of a coliec-
tion of art works for exhibition better than
General GoshOrn. who. you remember. was
the director of the Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia. The rooms in the Grand
Opera house building were not large
enough for the display of the articles to
their best advantage. Tapestries to be
seen at their best must be spread out to
their full extent. and have plenty of room
for their beauties to be appreciated. At
the museum there will be abundance of
room for everything, and everything will
be seen 10 its best advantage. The museum
is entirely lire proof, aud altogether there
could be no better place for its safety"
MANY persons" continued Mr.. Book
walter, have little idea of the labor i'll
volved in getting such a collection together
| Many persons have an idea that il one mas
the money there is no difficulty at all about
the matter. This idea is mistake, how
ever. These great masterpieces of art are
all made by hand. They are not turned
out wholesale like cabinet organs or brus-
sells carpet One must be there Just in the
nick of time TO secure them. These Flor
entine wood carvings. for instance: they
must be specially ordered as picture oil
statue or else the purchaser must be OF
hand just as great piece is finished. Il
secure it. The agents of the royal families
and of the wealthy citizens of Europe AT,
everywhere in every citv in Europe, and il
the Orient, and are constantly Oh the out
look for artistic masterpieces of every kind
For this reason the gathering of such col
lection is of much greater difficulty thar
would at first be supposed"
